Stewardship Campaign for 2018

Dear Friends,

As the new Senior Pastor here, I confess that I am still getting to know the families of our congregation! During my short time here, I’ve been deeply touched by the giving nature of this church. Your giving strengthens and supports our Children’s Ministries, Youth Ministries, Back To School Event, and ministries within our local school districts and TLU. These ministries make a significant impact in our community and allow us to share Christ’s love in tangible ways. We are a congregation who gives because we know God is generous with an abundance of love and grace to share.

Currently, we are in the process of preparing our 2018 operational budget. Our goal as we prepare for 2018 is to grow in our collective financial giving to God through our church. Completing the Estimate of Giving affirms your desire to honor God with your resources and also helps us plan and implement the ministries of our church. Please pray with God about how God is leading you to respond, and complete the online form below.

Our belief in why and how we give to God remains unchanged. We give because we have first received so much from God. Scripture is clear that we should give systematically and proportionately to what we have received. Thank you for your faithful stewardship and generosity. We look forward to our journey together in 2018 and all the blessings and wonders God has in store for us.

Blessings,

Rev. Cathe Evins
